This is a great story to show the bond between Sirius and James. And well... things might have turned out so differently if Sirius had been Secret Keeper...

Author's Response: Thank you, Pissenoffanis. I'm glad to hear you liked it. And I urge you to read the fan fictions this one-shot was based in, the ones by Robin on FF.N. I swear, they're the best stories ever written, and she does a fantastic job with that AU quality of Sirius as the SK.

is this a chapter on wat would have hapened if Sirius stayed secret keeper for the Potter? If it is it would make a very intresting chaotered story instead of one shot. Just imagine it. Peter still spieing, Harry living with his parents Voldemort on the hunt and Sirius keepin in the secret. Moony with his lonely full moons and James and Lily worring for their friends and Harry's safety. Think about it am sure it would be an exellent story. Keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Well, baby b, this one-shot is actually based in AU where Sirius remains Secret-Keeper, but like I mentioned in the A/Ns in this bit, the *particular* universe that this is set in is the Unbroken Universe, whose main fan fictions are posted on FF.N by Robin. And that trilogy is absolutely the best rfan fiction on the internet, as far as I'm concerned! (This one-shot is sort of like a fan fic of a fan fic, if that makes sense.)

But I do have some ideas of my own for an AU where a few things concerning the Secret-Keeper thing's been changed. The prologue of that fic -- "Returning from the Shadows" -- has actually already been posted, and Chapter I shouldn't be too long in coming.
